How do I get my iPod fixed?

Apple offers many ways to get support and service for your iPod. Choose the one that’s best for you. Our support articles might answer your question. Or we can help you with batteries, cracked screens, and other issues.

How much will it cost?

There's no charge if the issue is covered under warranty, AppleCare+, or consumer law. If your issue isn’t covered, the price depends on the type of repair. If we can’t repair your iPod, you might need to replace it.

Apple Limited Warranty coverage

Our Limited Warranty covers your iPod and Apple-branded accessories against defects for one year from the date you bought them. The Apple Limited Warranty is in addition to rights provided by consumer law.

Our warranty doesn't cover damage caused by accidents or unauthorized modifications. See the warranty for complete details. You can check your warranty status online and update your proof-of-purchase information if there's an error in our records.

Can I buy additional coverage for my iPod?

AppleCare+ gives you expert telephone support and additional hardware coverage up to two years from the day you bought your iPod touch. It also includes up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage. Each incident has a service fee. If you didn't buy AppleCare+ with your iPod touch, you can buy it within 60 days of your purchase.

You may also have consumer law rights. Apple Limited Warranty and AppleCare+ benefits are in addition to your rights under consumer law.

Out-of-warranty service

Your iPod has an issue that’s not covered under warranty or consumer law, like accidental damage or damage caused by unauthorized modifications

We might be able to fix your iPod for an out-of-warranty fee. If we can’t fix it, you might have to replace it. Your replacement iPod will be new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability. Contact your service representative for details. The Apple Limited Warranty is in addition to rights provided by consumer law.

Screen repair

If your iPod screen is broken, we might be able to service it for an out-of-warranty fee. Screen repair isn’t covered by Apple Warranty. The cost to service it depends on your iPod model. If your screen cracks due to a defect, it’s covered by Apple warranty and consumer law.

We'll run a diagnostic test to see if your iPod needs any other repairs. If it does, we'll let you know.

Apple accessories

The Apple-branded accessories that come in the box with your iPod, including the power adapter, are covered by our warranty and consumer law. They’re also covered by AppleCare Protection Plan or AppleCare+. For service details, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

After service

When you get your iPod back from service, restore your data from your backup.

We guarantee our service, including replacement parts, for 90 days or the remaining term of your Apple warranty or AppleCare product coverage, whichever is longer. We offer this whenever you get service from us or from an Apple Authorized Service Provider. This does not affect your consumer law rights.
